Young Cichlasoma citrinellum contact parents preferentially, depending on sex and color of the parents. The number of epidermal mucus cells on adults' scales is positively correlated with the amount of contacting by the young. The epidermal thickness of these scales is negatively correlated with the amount of contacting. These correlations are discussed as possible cause–effect relationships with the contacting preferences of the young, and are compared to similar behavior in other cichlid fish species.

Basic reproductive and behavioral data were collected from pairs of Cichlasoma nigrofasciatum breeding under controlled conditions. Increasing the density of potential breeding pairs increased the level of territorial aggression and decreased reproductive success. Time spent with their young by parents did not vary consistently with density. The importance of the increase in aggression and its possible influence on reproductive success are discussed.
